Please don't make naming inconsistent. --index means "do things that

means "act only on the index" (study "git apply" for another example).
"git rm" that does not touch work tree but removes only the index
entry
should be named --cached.
I think this is a bit of an arcane distinction. I wonder if a more
intuitive scheme might be:
"--index" as it is now (for "do things that usually affect only
work tree also to the index as well")
And:
"--index-only" for "act only on the index"
Although the latter is more characters to type than "--cached", it is
a hell of a lot less surprising. For the typing-phobic there's always
completion.
Let the arguments about bikeshed color and breaking people's scripts
ensue!
Cheers,
Wincent
